Train the Trainer Course Overview

TSW’s train the trainer course provides the knowledge and skills needed to deliver professional training courses for adults.

This Train the Trainer course is designed as a ‘fundamentals’ workshop for those who require the skills to train adults, whether full-time or as part of their job role. It provides basic training techniques and encourages a dynamic and flexible approach to training delivery.

  • You will study the key learning theories, exploring how people learn, retain and transfer knowledge.
  • You will study learning needs and preferences, considering how best to design and deliver impactful training.
  • You will explore the training cycle, a systematic approach to learning design, delivery, assessment, and evaluation.

When training the trainer, we provide instruction, coaching, and feedback to develop high-impact professional trainers who can engage their learners, increase learning retention and bridge the gap between learning and application.
